Jen Mossefin, LCSW, LCAS, CCS-I
EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist and CIT (she/her)
I have a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from UNC- Chapel Hill with a special focus on adult mental health and substance abuse. I really enjoy supporting clients as they work through Self-Worth Issues, Trauma and Coping Skills. I also have experience working with Substance Use Disorders, Eating Disorders, Anxiety, Phobias and Mood Disorders.
I work with individuals across the gender and sexuality spectrum, and am happy to provide letters for gender affirming medical care. My therapeutic philosophy includes an integrated approach, using mindfulness, specifically Mindful Self-Compassion, working with the body/mind connection, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I have strong compassion and wonder at the resilience and hope that are possible for each of us.

EMDR Trained

Accepting New Clients
Maybe you feel like you don’t quite belong anywhere or struggle to trust your own worth. Perhaps you’re carrying the weight of systemic oppression, intergenerational trauma, or the pressure to fit into a world that wasn’t built with you in mind. You want to heal, to feel at home in yourself, and to build a life that feels authentic and meaningful.
I’m here to hold a space where you can show up fully and be met with care, empathy, and non-judgment. I love working with LGBTQ+ & BIPoC folks and folks with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their caregivers from a strengths-based, neurodiversity affirming perspective.
My therapeutic approach is guided by a commitment to fostering dignity, resilience, and empowerment, with a focus on practical strategies for personal growth and self-care. I am EMDR trained and use this as well as other therapeutic approaches to support clients in healing from trauma and cultivating a sense of personal sovereignty.
As a mixed race-Black, transmasculine, and nonbinary practitioner, I understand the importance of being seen and affirmed. I approach therapy with a commitment to creating a secure, affirming space where clients can unfold into their most authentic selves. If you think we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out and schedule a free consultation.

Chandra Yoder Aikawa, MSW, LCSWA (she/ her)
EMDR Trained
End of Life Doula
Accepting New Clients
I have a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Columbia University, with a concentration in clinical practice with children and families. My background and interests include work in domestic violence, family court issues, complex trauma, issues related to aging, grief and loss, medical social work, postpartum support, and support around the end of life. I’m interested in supporting parents in the transition to parenthood, as well as in the other transitions and challenges that occur throughout the life span of parenting. I’m also trained as an end of life doula for both people and companion animals, and am particularly interested in providing support in processing grief around pet loss.
I am EMDR trained, and my therapeutic approach is informed by a strengths-based perspective, a person-centered philosophy, and a continued striving for awareness of intersectional, environmental and systemic factors that come into play. I believe that therapy is a partnership, and I take a warm, nonjudgmental, supportive and collaborative approach to working together.

Meg Higgins, MSW, LCSW
ACT and EMDR Trained
(they/ them)
Accepting New Clients
Hi! I'm Meg. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have 9 years of clinical experience and have been trained in multiple modalities including EMDR. I am deeply committed to undoing the systems of oppression around us and believe that the therapy room is one place to start that work.
My main areas of therapeutic expertise are around gender/sexuality and around fatness from a fat liberation perspective. I also have clinical experience with ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, Bipolar Disorder, Chronic Illness, Depression, Eating Disorders, Gender Dysphoria, OCD, and PTSD.
I particularly welcome fat participants and participants who have diverse genders and sexualities. I am kink and poly affirming.
I offer at least two free letters per month for folks needing letters for Gender Affirming Surgery. If you need a letter please reach out, and let our Admin know to connect you.
You deserve a therapist who approaches the world with a solid, intersectional, social justice framework, that sees society, rather than some flaw in you, as the central piece of your problem. I can be that therapist. I’m fat, I’m queer, I have an intersectional lens, and I want to dismantle systems of oppression one client session at a time.
